I'm going to take a stab at answering my own question here. Does a program listing lack SKU because a program is essentially a bundling of other SKUs? I'm hoping that SKUs for the individual courses in the Program get bundled together and show up in ...

@karen_bowden So to confirm, this is just to be able to move from one course to another in Canvas and the completions in Catalog are separate? Right?

@karen_bowden It would be in the analytics tab under enrollments then if there is a certificate to download that means the course is completed.

I can only see enrollments from the catalog side. Maybe someone else knows how to find out if a user completed a course.

@karen_bowden So, what you are saying it is just a usability standpoint to have a student move from one course to another but the data is still in Catalog about whether or not a student completes a course, right?

@karen_bowden Interesting so what is the impact on the program in Catalog for the analytics? Does it show completions and send a certificate of completion? How is your program set up in Catalog? Would you be able to send a picture?
